The lecturers are very accommodating, which allowed me to work and study part-time at the University of Limerick. It was great, and for me and worked really, really well. I loved the modules. It made me rethink everything that I do. The Masters in Nursing of the Older person means I now have the knowledge to be the best nurse I can possibly be.  It gives me the educational background I need to put myself forward for advanced roles.
